Jack Dorsey CEO of Twitter made this known on Monday.

Twitter said the main reason of opening an office in Ghana is mainly based on some factors. He said the factors were the country’s AfCFTA negotiations, internet access, online and offline free speech policy.

“As a champion for democracy, Ghana happens to be a supporter of free speech, online freedom, and the Open Internet, of which Twitter is also an advocate, “Twitter reveals in a statement’.

In continuation, Ghana’s recent appointment to host The Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area centres with our overarching goal to establish a presence in the region that will support our efforts to improve and tailor our service across Africa.

Akufo – Addo said the contract “is the start of a beautiful partnership between Twitter and Ghana, which is critical for the development of Ghana’s hugely important tech sector.

‘These are exciting times to be in and to run business in Ghana’.

FACTORS BEHIND TWITTER NOT CHOOSING NIGERIA

The pastor explained in an Instagram video that, despite what is commonly believed, men need women by their sides in addition to their marriages.
He disclosed the four key reasons for side chicks’ importance.

The first explanation offered by the pastor was stupidity. He said that having side chicks is the finest way for a man to look dumb.

In response to a question about why guys are still searching for Coke after they have one, he pointed out that Coke in a bottle, can, or plastic is still Coke.

He identified premature death as the second reason why males require a side chick.

According to the preacher, a guy who wishes to pass away too soon must overwork his heart and stuff his body with unnecessary items.

He mentioned shame and embarrassment as additional reasons. A man who enjoys dishonor and shame, according to him, needs a side chick because that’s what he will eventually get.

According to him, a man should only require a side chick if he enjoys difficulty and turmoil.
